For owners
Selling the condominium you already own
A foreign-owned resale is the transaction that most needs a lawyer: the building's foreign-ownership quota has to accommodate your buyer, the charges at the Land Department are unforgiving, and the proceeds have to leave Thailand against the right paperwork. Tell us about the unit and we will tell you, plainly, what is involved.
What you send here is a REQUEST, not a listing. Nothing you write becomes public until a person at this firm has verified that you are the registered owner, sighted the title deed and confirmed the unit with the building's juristic person. Until then your submission is not published, not indexed and not in any feed.
We do not promise a sale. Nobody can honestly tell you that a unit will sell, at what price, or by when — and we will not. What we undertake is the work: verification, the documents, the quota position, the Land Department appointment and the repatriation trail.
How it goes
You tell us about the unit
The building, the unit facts, how you hold it and the price YOU want to ask. We do not suggest a price and we do not value your unit.
We verify before anything is public
We confirm you are the registered owner, sight the chanote, confirm the unit against the juristic person's records, and record what the juristic person reports about the foreign-ownership quota. This is a person reading documents, not an automatic check.
We publish only what was verified
If it is published, the page says what has been verified and what remains subject to confirmation — the same discipline as every other listing on this site. If it is not, nothing appears anywhere.
The sale itself is legal work
The sale and purchase agreement, the quota letter, the tax position at transfer and the repatriation documentation are handled by Suwanvara Law Firm under a separate engagement, with its own scope and fee.
What we can — and cannot — tell you about price
We do not appraise. This firm does not produce an estimated value for your unit, a recommended asking price, or a percentage above or below what you paid. A market valuation is a separate professional exercise carried out by a qualified valuer, and achieved resale prices are not published in Thailand in a form anyone can cite — so nobody can honestly show you what units like yours actually sold for.
The asking price on any listing we publish is the price YOU set, recorded as yours and agreed with you in writing.
What we can show you: our own asking prices
Choose a development we already list
- These are ASKING prices — what a seller invites — not achieved prices, and not a record of any transaction.
- A developer price sheet is not a market valuation, and this comparison is not one either.
- New-build stock from a developer and a resale unit in the same district are different goods. Treat this as a starting point for a conversation, not a benchmark to price against.
The foreign-ownership quota, plainly
Your own foreign ownership does not transfer with the unit. Under the Condominium Act B.E. 2522, foreigners may hold up to 49% of the total floor area of the units in a condominium building. When you sell to another foreigner, that buyer takes a place in that 49% — and whether there is room is a question about the BUILDING on the day of transfer, not about you.
Your buyer also needs their own evidence that the purchase money came into Thailand in foreign currency — the Foreign Exchange Transaction form (or the bank's equivalent credit advice) in the buyer's own name, for the buyer's own purchase. Yours proved your purchase; it does nothing for theirs.
Selling to a Thai buyer instead frees a place in the foreign quota rather than needing one, which changes the paperwork and, sometimes, who is interested.
The quota position for any specific unit is stated by the building's juristic person and is subject to confirmation with them at the time. We record what they report; we never present it as settled.
What is charged when you sell, and what leaves Thailand
Four charges arise at the Land Department on a transfer, and one of the middle two rather than both: the transfer fee (2% of the appraised value); specific business tax at 3.3% where an individual sells within five years of acquiring the unit, OR stamp duty at 0.5% where it does not apply; and withholding tax, computed for an individual seller on the appraised value with a deduction that depends on how many years you held it. Thailand has no separate capital gains tax on a condominium sale — the gain is taxed through this withholding and your personal income tax return.
Who pays which charge is a matter of agreement between seller and buyer, and it is one of the things worth settling in writing before anybody signs.
Getting the proceeds out is a documentation exercise, not a permission. A Thai bank remitting sale proceeds abroad needs to see the trail: how the unit was bought, that it was sold, what was withheld and what was paid. The evidence you kept when you bought — the FET, the title deed, the transfer receipts — is the evidence that makes the outward remittance straightforward.
The estimator below works from the figures shown, which you can change to your own, at the standing rates, and is illustrative arithmetic only — not a computation of your liability. Your position depends on how you hold the unit, how long you have held it, whether you are a Thai tax resident and what the appraised value turns out to be.
General information, not tax or legal advice. Liability depends on your holding and your structure. Tax and legal work on your sale is a separate engagement with Suwanvara Law Firm.

La répartition est usuelle, jamais fixée par la loi — toutes les combinaisons existent en pratique, et elle se négocie puis s’inscrit dans le contrat de réservation et l’acte de vente. Les droits de mutation, le droit de timbre et la retenue à la source sont assis sur la valeur d’expertise du Département des Terres, qui est un montant différent du prix et généralement inférieur : les montants ci-dessus constituent donc un plafond de planification, non un devis.
La taxe spécifique sur les activités commerciales s’applique ici parce que le vendeur détient le bien depuis moins de 5 ans ; le droit de timbre n’est alors pas dû en plus — c’est l’un ou l’autre. La retenue à la source sur un vendeur particulier dépend d’éléments qu’une annonce ne peut pas connaître — domiciliation, autres revenus, indivision — elle est donc approximée d’après le barème de durée de détention.
Les taux et les allègements changent — les gouvernements thaïlandais réduisent périodiquement les droits de mutation pour soutenir le marché. Confirmez les chiffres en vigueur pour votre propre opération avant de vous engager.

Comment fonctionnent les droits de mutation et les taxes en ThaïlandeMoney never passes through this firm
Suwanvara Property receives no sale proceeds, no deposit and no purchase money at any point. A resale deposit is the buyer's, paid to you the seller, or into an escrow the parties agree between themselves — which is theirs, not ours. The only money this firm ever collects is a professional fee for legal work, under a separate engagement, against its own invoice.
Your documents, in the encrypted vault
Proof of ownership — the title deed, your passport, the FET from your own purchase — goes into the client portal's encrypted vault, where access is logged, never to an e-mail thread. You do not need to upload anything to send this request: when we open your file we will ask for exactly what is needed and send you a secure link to your own account.
Les informations sur les biens, les prix, les offres promotionnelles, la disponibilité du quota étranger et les conditions de transfert sont sous réserve de confirmation. La publication d’un bien ne constitue pas une vérification juridique, ni une garantie de propriété, d’état, de rendement d’investissement ou de transmissibilité.
Suwanvara Property peut percevoir une commission d’intermédiation lorsqu’une transaction aboutit. Les services juridiques, lorsqu’ils sont demandés, sont fournis séparément par Suwanvara Law Firm dans le cadre d’un mandat distinct. Le client reste libre de désigner un autre conseil juridique.
